Odd exercise in censorship for Oscar (TM) show

Army Archerd: It's hard out here for a censor:

"The nominated tune 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp' from 'Hustle & Flow' with music and lyric by Jordan Houston ('Juicy Jay'), Cedric Coleman ('Freysier Boy') and Paul Beauregard ('Deejay Paul') has, by my count, 10 repeated words which would not pass network clearances. They are ..."

If you want to know what those words are, use the link - I'm not entirely comfortable with reciting them here.

The significance of this minor cultural confrontation is that the songs nominated for Oscar (TM) awards are performed as a part of the awards ceremony. The authors of this nominated song have agreed to re-write it to remove the offending words. Fortunately for them, the network has given the green light to keeping the words "bitch" and "hoes" in the song as performed for the awards show.

Personally, I find the latter OK words more offensive than some of what the censors gagged at. One wonders how a song that can't play on broadcast TV qualifies for such a high honor in the first place. And, what is the point of performing what is really a different song, not the one nominated, as part of the awards ceremony?
